A New York state senator apologized on Tuesday after telling a Twitter user who called him out over a parking placard to "kill yourself."
“I sincerely apologize," Kevin Parker (D) wrote about his since-deleted tweet. “I used a poor choice of words. Suicide is a serious thing and and [sic] should not be made light of.”
I sincerely apologize. I used a poor choice of words. Suicide is a serious thing and and should not be made light of. — Senator Kevin Parker (@SenatorParker) December 18, 2018 Candice Giove, deputy communications director for the New York state Senate's Republican majority, originally called out Parker for a potential violation in response to a tweet about cars parked in a New York City bike lane.
"The placard is assigned to @SenatorParker," she wrote.
"However, the license plate # on the placard does not match the vehicle. So he either used it in another car or gave it to someone to use, both of which are not permitted."
It just unreal what some Democrats think they have a right to say or do.
“It just unreal what some Democrats think they have a right to say or do.”
Why??
It isn’t like the New York Times, CNN, or the View are going to call him out for it.
He has TWO Political Correctness Cards to play, Democrat AND Minority. They would not DARE to.
I agree with your comments, but to normal people those are not excuses.
What was the placard? Baby on board?
Very poor impulse control.
If I worked for or with someone like that, I would stay on my guard.
“Who got the last BBQ chicken wings at the Office Christmas Party? Somebody told me that YOU took ‘em! Both of those wings were meant for me!
Wanna take this outside now, or should we do it after lunch?”
This ny state senator is a self-preening, self-important arrogant loser. Throw the bum out!
A##Hole Onboard
Probably just a stolen vehicle.
Kill Yourself?
I’m surprised this New Yorker didn’t use a different more sexually explicit 4 letter word instead of “kill”.
If ya know what I mean.
That might have saved his career,ever other post on his twitter feed is telling him to resign at this point.
I know Parker’d district. It is a left-leaning Caribbean-American/multicultural/multiethnic district.
He is not going to resign. He will be there and he will be reelected until he dies.
It is, but just imagine what it would be like LIVING under them should they get the power and control they lust for.
I daresay, he's not sorry for doing wrong, he's sorry he got called on it and is covering his butt.
He has introduced a bill mandating a three month search of the social media of anyone wanting to purchase a firearm.
With Mussolini Cuomo’s backing it will become law in NY.
Leave NY if you can. Thee are still some sane areas in the country.
No doubt about that MetMom.
He just didn’t think he could get away with it.
I got locked out of my Twitter account for sarcastically suggesting that Republicans should hang themselves because they support President Trump.
I guess some people are more equal than others on Twitter...
Fill yourself?
Heh, heh, I live in a small Southern state which is pro-gun rights & CCW’s are shall issue. Show CCW & DL at a traffic stop & the patrolman becomes Officer Friendly.
But I did drive through Upstate on our way to a wedding in Ottawa. Stopped for gas in a small town & the people were the same as anywhere else. I know that the political culture of NYC & Albany are at war with the rest of New York.
